In my experience, it is mandatory that the camera storage appears as a drive letter and not as an imaging device. Once you have that, you can try the free program Undelete Plus http://undelete-plus.com/ or Ontrack's Easy Recovery Pro, which is a more powerful program, but isn't free. http://www.ontrackda...overy-software/

If you haven't used the card to take new pics after the data loss incident, there's a high chance that you'll be able to recover your files. Otherwise, at least some of the files will have been overwritten and unrecoverable.

Never tried that... but tried lots of Tools and many of them found 0 Pictures.Even had Tools that destroyed the Pictures as the installers wrote temporary files to the cam drive... If no tool finds your pictures, you might want to try this one: http://www.digicamrecovery.com/

Recuva has failed me every time I have attempted to use it. Partial or no recovery at all. I gave up with everything and bought a license of recovermyfiles. It has worked better than on track and most other recovery/corrupt deleted file reconstruction software.
